Max Muncy hit a two-run home run and Andy Pages had three RBIs in the host Los Angeles Dodgers' 12-4 win over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday.
The Dodgers, who totaled 14 hits, snapped the Cubs' 10-game winning streak and took control of the game with a six-run fourth inning.
Teoscar Hernandez had two hits and two RBIs, Alex Freeland had two doubles, a run and an RBI, and Hyeseong Kim had two hits and an RBI.
Seiya Suzuki, Moises Ballesteros and Miguel Amaya hit solo home runs for Chicago. Suzuki also had a three-hit game.
The Dodgers' six-run rally started with Kim's one-out single, and he scored Freeland's RBI double that evened the game at 3-3.
Shohei Ohtani walked, then Freddie Freeman's RBI single scored Freeland as the Dodgers took a 4-3 lead and ended Colin Rea's (3-1) night.
Cubs reliever Javier Assad didn't fare any better. The right-hander walked Muncy, and later, with two outs, yielded a single to Hernandez that scored Freeman and Ohtani for a 6-3 advantage.
Dalton Rushing's RBI single drove in Santiago Espinal, who pinch-ran for Muncy, and Los Angeles opened up a 7-3 lead. Pages' RBI single made it 8-3 when Hernandez scored.
Earlier in the game, Suzuki's homer gave Chicago a 1-0 lead in the second.
The Cubs led 2-0 in the third when Amaya scored on Michael Busch's RBI single.
Muncy's two-run homer plated Ohtani, who led off the third with a walk, and tied the game at 2-2.
But the Cubs took a 3-2 lead in the fourth when Ballesteros launched a solo shot to right field.
Amaya's solo homer pulled Chicago within 8-4 in the fifth.
Los Angeles' lead grew to 10-4 in the sixth when Pages' double knocked in Kyle Tucker and Hernandez. Kim's RBI groundout scored Rushing to make it 11-4. Moments later, Pages scored on a newly entered Vince Velasquez's wild pitch for a 12-4 lead.
Roki Sasaki (1-2) scattered seven hits, gave up four runs and struck out five over five innings. Rea surrendered six runs on six hits, walked four and struck out four in 3 1/3 innings.
